Perhaps showing why the winning teams have riders who concentrate more on pedalling up them than rolling down - Ineos once upon a time albeit with a different name
The perception of speed with this camera angle is definitely intensified. Tom is a unique rider in terms of skills, low weight, low center of gravity, I'd assume that in general his lines might be difficult to replicate by bigger riders in twitchy descents - quite a show!
I've driven it late at night, and saw more than one set of skidmarks going straight to the edge. Car, moto, or bicycle, you definitely have to be paying attention on Tuna.
When watching on a video from this perspective, it looks insane. But in the past, I did very similar things, in French Alps descending 86 km/h for prolonged time. My highest speed was 94 km/h in Bosnia and Herzegovina on a training ride. I had wind in the back, and it was a straight down segment without corners. I was 18 then. Now at 52 and a son of 16, I think twice before I let myself go like that and probably hit the brakes much faster... But once again, it looks much scaring when you watch it, then when you are actually on the bike. Okay, you need the sikls. I grew up between the mountains, and every training ride was climbing and descending. And back then, even without a helmet! Bikes and brakes were also of a lesser quality.
I too had similar experiences but Tom has much more skill than I ever had. I was more recklessly out of control with buckets of good luck. Definitely worse brakes in the 80's and 90's. Try this on C-Record Delta brakes, no thank you.
Keeping up with Pidcock on a descent puts you in the top 0.01 percentile of Pro cyclists in the world :D The first few minutes was just pure adrenaline until Tom almost lost it at 1:10 :D Love your videos, Brian!
I've seen this before too. The way he doesn't back off even an inch after taking what felt like several mm of his pedal is madness. I guess that's what you have to do at that level to win a race by descending better than everyone else!
@@harveybirdman593 Not deliberately lol! Once you know where the limits are, and you have the bike control, the limits are to be explored. Of course, if you go just a smidge too far, you're effed. That's just one of the reasons why he gets paid to ride his bike.
Riders putting a lot of faith on the cleanliness of the road to take corners at those speeds 😅 crazy. Considering that the edge of the road has some dirt and a bit on the race line would be disastrous.
Tom's descent is superb and he doesn't know the turns by memory like a local could. So nothing diminishes the feat. But SAFA's lines are just better in multiple corners...
Savage two wheel application. Just add gravity and twisty asphalt. Brian and Tom, you two always possess bike stoke and you shrrrrreded that descent!!!
Watching this descent several times has improved my own skills in this discipline. Not that I could go anywhere near as fast down this course, but I definitely have a better handle on corners now!!
Hold on a sec... I gotta clean my shorts... NOPE.... I died several times watching this. When his rear wheel slipped in the beginning I was like NOPE... scared the daylights outta me. LOL Then to cap off the ride with rough terrain and a sudden intersection... HELL NO !!! Thanks for the excitement
A man who can do anything on a bike with style. I thought the header meant that he'd be eating a fish sandwich as well, whilst going very fast downhill!
Anyone how doesn't lean into the bends as they watch this isn't a cyclist. One day there will be a Zwift VR set up, with bike leaning and bumps and wind noise. It will be supplied with a free sick bag and extra absorbent bibs liner, and a course in Yorkshire accents (a' up, oil, watch th'm bumps, t'was bit slip-e, like)
@@MrMooooooose Hah. Still need a car ahead to warn of any vehicles that ignore the one-way or don't know. Experience says, "Never assume one way will be one way"
It’s one thing to do this once for the day and be done but the pros that do this 3 to 5 times or more during the day during a three week race is insanity!!
Oh, man, amazing video. I wish I could ride like this where I live, but unfortunately there is no "one way" road anywhere. Here I must always keep an eye for cars at the opposite direction so I can't max out the speed at sharp corners like you do, gotta limit my speed so I stay on my lane. But cycling is fun anyway.
Quando la vita è una sola è sempre bello rischiarla in una discesa a tutta 😁 Se foste caduti sareste stati ricordati con uno stupendo mazzo di rose a bordo strada ...😊 Pidcock magari qualche news sul telegiornale in più..✌🏻
Wow, what skill and bravery. When I'm on a descent I build some speed and a nagging voice of doubt says, "if you come off all you're wearing is lycra and a polystyrene hat" hat!"😂
@SafaBrian how many has TP gone down on this router before the shoot? I think there was one section where you were just by back wheel. Was that unfamiliarity perhaps? Kudos to you for tracking TP. 🙌👏🏻

The fact that you can just casually sit on the wheel of arguably the worlds best descender is absolutely bonkers.
SAFA is probably one of the worlds best wdym lol
Pretty sure there was nothing casual about it!
I don't think he's casually sitting on he peddling his but off
He knows this descent far better than Pidcock, which help

can never get enough angles of this run! that pedal strike is legendary!

You forgot to add two gigantic metal golden balls 👀..
When I descend, I feel like this but at half the speed. 😂😂😂
When I descend, I feel like this but at half your speed. 😉
Top comment :D same here mate dont worry!
@@paulbradford6475when i descent, I feel like this but at half your speed 😉😉
@@Vive_in_Nisuwhen I feel like this, I descend half your speed. 😉😉
Same again. Less speed and therefore less risk for the same thrills. I know who's really winning.
People need to see this road in person to understand how insane this video actually is.
Yes! I rode Tuna Canyon 4-5 times back in the ‘80s. It was two-way back then. Up and down it was ridiculous.
I've driven it late at night, and saw more than one set of skidmarks going straight to the edge. Car, moto, or bicycle, you definitely have to be paying attention on Tuna.
-12+% gradient. Might as well be jumping off the mountain!!! lol.

My heart rate just hit zone 3 while watching this! 😂😂
Safa ❤
Chill ride then. ;-) Should be six. :D
Exactly 😂
Nice, you got a workout, and he took the risk, win win
Agreed.
Watched from the couch, now need a lie down. 😄
How lucky and blessed...
A gold medalist is to have the privilege of riding with Brian.
Breathtaking descent. That pedal stroke at 1:10 had me sweating sitting behind my computer watching. Crazy how you 2 went down that hill
Keeping up with Pidcock on a descent puts you in the top 0.01 percentile of Pro cyclists in the world :D The first few minutes was just pure adrenaline until Tom almost lost it at 1:10 :D Love your videos, Brian!
Even though I knew it was coming that pedal strike still made my heart stop for a beat. Guy's a beast.
I've seen this before too.

1:10 for those wondering
I don’t get it. Was it an accident ? Why would he do that
@@harveybirdman593 Not deliberately lol!

Of course, if you go just a smidge too far, you're effed. That's just one of the reasons why he gets paid to ride his bike.
@@harveybirdman593he shouted “oil”
we love to see it 🔥💯
yassss. need more chestcam videos again
The skill is unbelievable
Riders putting a lot of faith on the cleanliness of the road to take corners at those speeds 😅 crazy. Considering that the edge of the road has some dirt and a bit on the race line would be disastrous.
his cadence out of the corners is so fast!
that I didn't notice on the other video, thanks for posting! keep the good work
Pidcock is legendary, but you were right there the whole way. Wow. Did Tuna many times when I lived in So Cal, but never quite like that.
1:08 Tom casually calls back "OIL" 😮
Wee man is bonkers :D
Just realised from this angle, I'm pretty sure it's not oil, but his right foot striking the ground?
@@ConradGodfrey Def. a pedal strike
rock slide
Shows that even the best of professionals can have small beginner mishaps. Happens to the best of us
He nearly clipped the pedal comming out of the corner before clipping the right food. That would have been pretty bad sending him to the edge.
Did anyone's hands get a little clammy watching this? Man, it was nerve wracking but awesome at the same time. Wow!
I bet Ineos management did
Two amazingly skilled riders… 👏👏👏
Tom's descent is superb and he doesn't know the turns by memory like a local could. So nothing diminishes the feat. But SAFA's lines are just better in multiple corners...
Its easer to Follow don't forget.
@@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834yes, much easier.

Obrigado Safa, por mostrar isso para o mundo! Foi insano.
Holy Sh*t @1:09!
It wasn't oil though. He grounded his pedal.
@@jono1457-qd9ft holy cow, good eyes! At first it looked like he slipped on some gravel
@@jono1457-qd9ftsand
Wow, was that a pedal strike!
He'll run out of luck one day.
You’ve uploaded this before. It’s just as gob smacking this time around. Thank you ❤
Sweaty palms watching this.
Just absolutely amazing!
Unbelievable skill from both of you! Terrifyingly rapid descent and incredible lines. Bravo to both of you❤
Incredible content. Kudos to you SAFA. This is an exhilarating watch.
Insane, exhilarating and beautiful and in one! I absolutely loved it.
Pidcock wasn't going full gas... he even looked back a few times...chapeau!
Watching this my head is going from side to side! Love it!
I would have applied my brakes the entire ride🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..I salute you guys..
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Truly bonkers. Accelerating on this descent is madness on its own, let alone combined with everything else they're doing.
Tom descends like a downhill skiier - trusts the surface, trusts his bike/grip, and trusts his skill and just gives it cowabunga!!
It is absolutely terrifying to watch both insane descending fantastic riders.
That left-hander at 1:55 was nuts!
Thanks for posting! You've got some talent SAFA Brian to be able to follow such a dive!!
Camera man knew that road so well. Props to you sir.
I start sweating immediately when watching this even though I know y'all made it through just fine. Incredible footage.
Oh I was just thinking “he nearly had a peddle strike “ then he did ! He was so lucky
Watching this descent several times has improved my own skills in this discipline. Not that I could go anywhere near as fast down this course, but I definitely have a better handle on corners now!!
Hold on a sec... I gotta clean my shorts...

So nice. Great to see pro riders joining the fun.
Man, my nerves are shattered
A man who can do anything on a bike with style. I thought the header meant that he'd be eating a fish sandwich as well, whilst going very fast downhill!
Majestic. Thank You
You can learn so much by watching how Pidcock adjusts his body position at various parts of the corner.
Exactly! Watching this descent over and over again has improved my own skills in this discipline!
Talent and bottle combined!
Congratulations, you are a monster, all time long at his tale.
Insane but exhilarating at the same time; kudos to you both 👍👍👍💪💪💪👏👏👏
Damn. Awesome stuff that. Pedaling hard out of corners at 40+ mph?!? outstanding ride.
Please tell me you swept every turn beforehand….bonkers, and I’m pretty fearless. Nice work!
Some say Pidcocks Q factor is 36.5 and that Safa guy is a legend
Pure class 👏 👌 pure speed 💯💣💥
Brian is still the MAN.
History Lesson: Redbull once had a downhill race on Tuna. It was closed to spectators, but I was there. 😉
Is there a difference with high protein fueling rather than the usual gel approach then?
Brilliant ride Mr .... On the odd occasion I got the impression you could have jumped him. A bit scary to watch.
Inspiring & terrifying! I DON'T HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE SO I WON'T BE TRYING DEADLY DESCENTS!
My compliments to the tyre manufacturer too!
A thing of beauty
Damn. Outstanding videography 👏🏻👏🏻
Only thing more impressive than Pidcock descending is how you can follow so close at those speeds.
Can hear your disc brake singing in some of those turns. Music to my ears.
Anyone how doesn't lean into the bends as they watch this isn't a cyclist.

It will be supplied with a free sick bag and extra absorbent bibs liner, and a course in Yorkshire accents (a' up, oil, watch th'm bumps, t'was bit slip-e, like)
Not going to lie - that was terrifying.
that pedal strike shaped oil slick looks more interesting with that view. but epic riding
50 is just nuts with these hairpin turns
It is always easier to follow Pidcock is absolutely on it.
Great safe! Beautiful descent again!!
literally insane
I don't think I've ever seen anyone descend this fast through switchbacks. Incredible, even for you.
Hats down to the man on the wheel
Honestly man, please make more videos with Pidcock
So many turns with a mind of "I hope there is no car coming up"
It's a one-way road
@@MrMooooooose Hah. Still need a car ahead to warn of any vehicles that ignore the one-way or don't know. Experience says, "Never assume one way will be one way"
@@cuebj they have the car at the bottom, they can stop them from entering if they go the wrong way
Magnifique 😊😊😊😊décente
How did you stay with him? That’s amazing and frightening! Wow!
this thing never gets boring...
Damn some of those turns...great control!!!
I can barely hit 40mph on a straight line and these guys doing 40s on a corner. what a beast
We want the Tuna ascend version!
it's a lot longer
Need a different team for that these days
Ummm, you know you guys ran a couple stop signs. 😉 Pidcock: "It wasn't stressful." I'll have to take his word for that. 😬
It’s one thing to do this once for the day and be done but the pros that do this 3 to 5 times or more during the day during a three week race is insanity!!
pure magic🎉
Wow.
Thats riding on the edge.

I was fearing for these lads until I saw one way on the road.
Breathtaking!
But now try the Süstenpass on a fully loaded touring bike with 1980s rim brakes. That's me in 1984
1:10, heart in the mouth, 😮 good save by Tom.😅
Just outstanding!
I did 107km/h down Mount Ousley in Australia on a mountain bike with slick tyres in 1998 .
This was the best!
This is sick 🤯🫣
Quando la vita è una sola è sempre bello rischiarla in una discesa a tutta 😁
Se foste caduti sareste stati ricordati con uno stupendo mazzo di rose a bordo strada ...😊 Pidcock magari qualche news sul telegiornale in più..✌🏻

The God of Luck kicked in,,Just some pebbles and lil bit of sand.Those tires are trusted tho
